Summer is a great time to get some fresh air, but it’s also important to avoid getting stung. When you’re outside this season, watch out for the following stinging insects and have NJ pest control services handle any infestations you have.
Bees
In most cases, honeybees and bumble bees don’t sting people, especially if they’re out foraging for nectar. However, you can get stung by these insects if they feel threatened.
Fire Ants
Fire ants have painful stings that they use to defend their colonies from threats. If you accidentally disturb a fire ant nest, you can expect to be stung multiple times.
Hornets
Hornets can become very aggressive if you approach their nest. These black and white colored stinging insects have thinner waists than bees and little to no hair on their bodies.
Paper Wasps
Paper wasps aren’t as aggressive as hornets and other types of wasps, but you can get stung if you go near their nests. Since these nests are often built near buildings, it can be hard to avoid them.
Yellow Jackets
Yellow jackets are wasps that have black and yellow, white or red coloring. Although they’re not usually aggressive, they can become so if their nest is threatened.
